you could buy our formaldehyde for quality alone One good reason is that only Celanese offers you all four basic forms of formaldehyde. Some we developed. And all are constantly up-graded through Celanese technology. (New patent, No. 3,137,736, for example, covers improved stabilizers for our aqueous formaldehyde.) Then, Celanese provides volume production, fastmoving terminal and shipping facilities that mean you get what you order, when you want it. This is part of Celanese's marketing service that helps keep your inventories in balance. As the only producer of all forms of formaldehyde, we've naturally analyzed many aspects of processing and cost. We can show you why the cheapest form of formaldehyde may not be the best for your process — why raw material cost is not the only criterion for best resin economics.
But, even without these practical reasons, you could buy Celanese formaldehyde for its high-quality alone: Stabilized aqueous formaldehyde. First developed by Celanese, and now improved through patented organic stabilizing systems which effectively retard side reactions in higher concentration solutions. Retard polymerization, too, making possible shipment and storage at lower temperatures, with greater economy. And Celanese stabilized solutions have less build-up of acids, which means longer life for your storage and handling equipment and lower maintenance cost. Formcel solutions. Formaldehyde in a variety of alcohols, permit batch sizes substantially larger than conventional 37% formalin solutions. Almost like owning a larger reactor! Its low water content minimizes or eliminates water removal steps, with both economic and
— if you didn't know the other reasons quality advantages. Celanese offers two grades of Methyl Formcel —containing 46.5% and 55% formaldehyde; π-Butyl Formcel—40%; Isobutyl Formcel—40%. Paraformaldehyde. Celanese para is 91-95% concen trated. Which means very little water or any other chem ical which could limit its usefulness. In formulating resins, para gives you far greater flexibility than any other form of formaldehyde. Manufacturers of high-solids urea, melamine or phenolic resins find para results in larger batches and higher yields, in shorter cycle and processing time. And consider this: Para will lower the cost of new plants by eliminating storage tanks, pumps, pipe lines and heat exchangers, essential for handling liquid formaldehyde. (Good facts to remember when modernizing older plants.)
